The economic climate remains challenging and we continue to see diverse regional developments in the global market for internal logistics solutions. In Europe, however, the mood among our customers has improved considerably since the middle of the second quarter. We succeeded in continuing our current growth course in Kurt Rudolf the first six months of 2014. Our order intake increased from Chairman of the Board of Directors CHF 170.6 million in the first half of 2013 to CHF 172.9 million in 2014. Sales increased by a solid 9.1 % in local currency. In Swiss Francs, sales rose by 5.3 % in the first six months of 2014 to CHF 157.1 million (previous year: CHF 149.1 million). The first half of 2013 included a large one-time order placed by Red Bull in Thailand that was worth approximately CHF 6.5 million, however. If we were to leave this order from Red Bull out of the equation, we would have recorded a sig- nificantly higher order intake than last year. Due to the good financial situation and solid balance sheet, we were able to drive two projects forward simultaneously from a position of strength in financial year 2014 in order to continue pursuing our growth strategy. On the one hand, we launched Paul Zumbühl our new modular conveyor platform in Europe. On the other CEO hand, we consolidated our plants in the USA. Both projects have a one-time impact on the result of our current financial year. The additional costs that can be considered an investment in our continued growth only represent a temporary short term burden on our earnings. Around two-thirds were already incurred in the first half of 2014. Our EBITDA was therefore CHF 18.2 million (previous year: CHF 21.4 million) on 30 June 2014 and our EBITDA margin was at 11.6 % (previous year: 14.4 %). Earnings amounted to CHF 7.1 million (previous year: CHF 10.5 million). 6 REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND GROUP MANAGEMENT With the launch of our new modular conveyor platform, we Interroll also took the next strategic step in gaining access have laid yet another important cornerstone on ensuring a to the Chinese market by opening a new Asian headquarters sustainably positive business development.
